Drowned In a Sinking Schooner.

ST. JOINS, n. F., May 24.-The steamer
Plover, running between the northern ports
of this island and the Capital, has arrived
here and reports that at 10 o'clock Saturday
night, while crossing Trinity Bay, she had a
collision with the schooner Trixie H., of
Hearts Content The schooner had sixteen
persons on board, including three women.
After the collision ten of the men and one wo-
man succeeded in climbing up on the side Of
the vessel still out Of water, where they
remained until taken off by the Plover
After the shock the steamer backed clear OF
the wreck and Immediately launched her
lifeboatS. The crew approached the wreck
with great difficulty, owing to the high wind
and sea, and managed, at the risk of their
lives, to rescue the eleven survivors and
place them safely on board the Plover 1t is
supposed the other five were killed or
knocked overheard while the vessels were in
collision. The weather was intensely cold,
and those on the wreck suffered terribly,

NEW YORK. May 24-The collision be-

Britannia has proved much more dis
aStrous than was at first supposed. The Mer-
ritt Wrecking company is now pumping out
the Britaauic There is a suspicion that
many of the vessels passengers will be found
to have perished in her broken compartment.
The Celtic had .l50 cabin and steerage pas
sengers OH board. The Britannia carried 45C
passengers. Among the persons killed out
right are the fOOwlug:
JENNIE ROBINSON of Fail River, Mass.
12 years o.d. head cut Off
JAMES FINBURG.
JANE ROBINSON.
JAMES GREENALCH
ADAM JOHNSON.
Last two missing and supposed to have
been killed.
1t IS feared that over twenty persons lost
their lives. Officers of the White Star Line
company insist That only five passengers
were killed. The Rev. DR.. Depuy says, how
ever, that after personal inquiry in the steer
age department, where all the casualties oc-
CURED, he believed the list of deaths en-
braces at least twelve persons, and that
1wenty-six were hurt. The following is a
partial list OF the injured:
DAVID RICKETS OF Chicago, % wears old
head and lett eye badly cut and back
bruised.
MARTIN ALLEN of Chicago, lost two Gu-
gers.
PATRICK BURKE, Wilkesbarre, Pa, frac-
ture right leg.
ROSE FAGIN, New York, injuries to back

j., % years old, arm cut and leg and body
badly bruised
ELIZABETH WAINWRIGHT, East Hampton,
Mass
MARY GRIFFIN, Southport, Eng.
n. DONAHUE, thigh broken.
Some of the steerage passengers say that
the dead bodies were disposed Of i'll O manner
that lacked even the clements of common
deoency. They aver that the sailors 81 oveled
overheard the bloody fragments of humanity
much as they did the slnau debris caused
by the collision. The passengers also
complain OF the inadeQuacy of the life-boats
and the difficulty experienced in reaching the
lite-jackets, which were placed so far aft that
had there been any immediate danger many
would have been unable TO supply them
selves.
The damage to the Britannia will probably
reach $S0,000 and that to The Celtic about
$4,000. Both vessels will go to the cry dock
for repairs.
The officers of the Britannia and Celtic are
very reticent. Capt. Perry has, however,
been induced to say that the Celtic was to
blame, in that she did not back at full speed
for that would have helped the Britannia to
clear, or at least lessened the blow, but there
seems to have been no alteration made in the
speed Of the vessel

PARIS, May 36-The well-known theaAor.
the Opera Comique, was destroyed by nro
Wednesday which broke out while a crowded
audience was witnessing the performances q
"Mignon." 1t is believed that at least thirty
persons were either burned to death or killed
by jumping from the windows The f1FO
originated in one of the wings, and waO
caused by gas jet coming into contact with
some OF the scenery which was being shifted
into position The flames burst forth like
q tash of powder, and the whole interior OK
the theater was almost Immediately abla1o.
Mime. Mergolier and NM. Tasquin and Ber-
nard were OH the stage at the time, and 90
closely were they pursued by the flames that
they were compelled to run through the stage
entrance into the street III stage costume, -
did also other members of the company. The
audience were panic-stricken, but through
the heroic and systematic e6orts OF the
ushers aud some of the cooler-headed OF the
spectators they were kept moving toward the
exits without trampling upon each other.
All of the occupants of the main portion ot
the house were got out without much
difficulty, but the flames behind the
stage soon severed the gas connec-
tiOns leaving the galleries and stairways In
darkness before the upper portion OF the
| house was cleared and it Is feared that Z
number Of persons were left ON the upper
tiers and perished. Madame Seller, one oe
the actresses, was in her dressing room when
the fire broke out, and Icing unable TO make
her escape was burned 10 death. All Of The
other members of the company and employe0
OF the theater escaped with their lives, but
several supernumeraries were injured, sonHs
very seriously. When it became evident
that the theateri was doomed those In the
| galleries burst open the small windows, and
many leaped TO the pavement below. Ofthena
fourteen were killed instantly and forty-thrOo
injured, some, it is thought, fatally. The dead
bodies OF five persons have been taken out o.
the front part of the theater. They WetN
horribly burned, and it is doubtful whether
they can be- identified. Two OF taem were
those of a woman and a little boy, the wonlAu
clasping the child tightly III her arms. Tbs
total number believed To have been killed
and wounded is sixty-seven, but as the fioor
of the theater is now heap of smoldering
ruins it is as yet impossible to say how nany
bodies are buried.
